The university haD constituted a 24-member committee, comprising deans from faculties of science, commerce and arts, nine college principals and members from the executive and academic councils, to formulate an admission policy which will be notified by next month.
"The committee members have recommended that the admission process should go entirely online. Last year, the varsity had attempted the same but offline admissions also continued as there were concerns from parents and students about the feasibility of the process," a committee member told PTI.
The admission committee headed by the Dean of Students Welfare has had two meetings in the last fortnight.
Other likely recommendations include centralised fee collection system and reducing the number of cut-off lists.

"So far, with the offline admission system being in place, the application centres used to collect the fees. However, we are thinking of making it centralised this time. All the payments will be made by the candidates to the university by which in turn will reimburse the respective colleges," the member said.
The panel will submit its final recommendations to the Vice Chancellor, who will then take a call on the admission policy for the session.

The registration process, which was expected to begin on May 28, will now kick off on June 1. However, the further schedule, including the application deadline, announcement of various cut-offs and last date to secure admission under a particular list has not been announced yet.
The varsity authorities said information bulletins will be made available to the students once the registration process begins.
"We haven't notified it in advance this year because some modalities are being finalised. However, the delay in admissions is not accidental, we plan to begin them once the PG, MPhil and PhD admissions close. Hence the date has been deferred to June 1," a senior varsity official said.
The question of whether or not minority institutions such as St Stephens and Jesus and Mary college will be part of the centralised process is also yet to be answered by the DU authorities.
